The war has not really started.
Because they are just Liangrong Rangers, there are not many of them.
But the country has entered a state of preparation for battle.
Border military reports were sent to the capital one after another. The Liangrong people had begun to mobilize troops and horses from various tribes. Liangrong rangers of different sizes appeared outside the city gate. The caravans that left the customs never returned, and people were They were slaughtered and their goods and money were robbed.
Everything means that the Liangrong people are coming.
It happened so suddenly, everyone knew that once spring started, the Liangrong people would definitely call.
The mission once again informed Honglu Temple that they wanted Chu Qing. As long as Chu Qing was handed over to Chu Qing, the past feud would be settled.
Three days later, more than a hundred corpses of Liangrong people were transported to the capital.
As Fu San said, after these corpses were delivered, people were finally extremely sure that the Liangrong people would come, and there was no longer any doubt that the Liangrong people would make louder noises than raindrops.
After the body was sent to the Ministry of War, the court became noisy again.
A group of civil servants, led by Di Zhengping, the right minister of the Ministry of Justice, advocated handing over Chu Qing and holding back for a while, waiting for all the food and grass to be transported to the border pass, and after the soldiers from all over the Guanzhong broke through and rushed to the border pass, they would then start a war with Liangrong and give Chu Qing the opportunity. Qing "rescued" him back.
Qiu Wanshan was not polite at all. He didn't say a word in court. As soon as the court came, the news was released. Whether it was among the people or scholars, Chu Qing's "good friend" Di Zhengping betrayed his friends to seek glory. There were scoldings in the capital. After such a long time, someone other than Chu Qing was finally on the hot search in Beijing, and there was a lot of scolding, even more intense than when Chu Qing was scolded at the beginning.
The people were scolded but didn't say anything. The next morning, the officials of Jingzhao Mansion were arrested by Di Zhengping's grandson, saying that they had received reports from the people that Di Zhengping's grandson had raped civilian girls.
Before Di Zhengping got the news, the properties of two officials were seized by the Ministry of Household Affairs, saying they were "tax evasion".
When Di Zhengping knew that he had been persecuted by the Ministry of Household Affairs, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly ran from a distance before he was in the palace. It was just a coincidence that when he ran in front of Di Zhengping, he suddenly fell down on the ground.
His Royal Highness, who was rubbing his buttocks, pointed at Di Zhengping and scolded him, saying that Di Zhengping tripped him on purpose.
Di Zhengping was completely dumbfounded. He didn't move at all.
The limping prince left, saying that he was not as knowledgeable as Di Zhengping.
Then the prince, who was not as familiar with Di Zhengping, ran to Huang Laosi to complain.
Huang Laosi asked Sun An to investigate the matter thoroughly and investigate whether Di Zhengping really insulted the prince.
Sun An was a reasonable person. After about fifteen seconds of thorough investigation, he came to the conclusion that Di Zhengping had really been defeated by the prince. All the more than 800 guards in the palace saw it with their own eyes.
Di Zhengping cried out that he was wronged and went to Zhai Xiu, saying that he was wronged by the prince.
Zhai Xiu had always been upright and his right minister, so how could he sit idly by and find the emperor, but he directly became angry regardless of the dignity of the emperor and his ministers, and threatened to take off Di Zhengping's official robe at any cost.
The kind-hearted emperor was infected by Zhai Xiu's righteousness, and in the end... Di Zhengping became white.
The Right Minister, the Right Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, turned white in just a few days. The country had never seen it before, but the people all applauded him. From then on, no civil servant dared to say anything in the court and handed it over to Chu Qing.
When Chu Qing got the news, he was dumbfounded.
With all his conscience, he didn't even know who Di Zhengping was.
Now the matter of the Liangrong people has nothing to do with Chu Qing and Qianqiying.
Bulky, creaking, old, and decayed, the imperial court was like a huge machine that had been in disrepair for a long time. It was finally running. A military order and an imperial edict were sent to Zhechong Mansion in various places, and military generals were appointed one after another. Continuous supplies of food and grass began to be transported to the border.
There is a long distance between Beijing and the border, but people in Changjing still feel a sense of urgency.
Until a military report reached Beijing again, the whole world was in an uproar!
The eldest son of the British duke, Feng Gong, general Yiwei of the frontier army, died in battle!
Feng Gong, who has been in the army for thirty-one years and has made many achievements, went deep into the grassland with his bodyguard to investigate the movements of various parts of the grassland, was ambushed, and was hit by three arrows.
Because of the Feng family in the capital, the Liangrong people handed Feng Gong's body to the border army, and the border army sent the body back to the British government in the capital.
After shock comes silence, after silence comes sadness, and after sadness comes anger.
Three of the eight battalions were dispatched to the border.
Yunhui General Tan Zhongping led a detachment. Chu Wensheng, the left minister of the Ministry of Industry who had been hidden for a long time, became the grain and grass transportation officer. However, this civilian logistics officer had the power to control the military and auxiliary troops, which was very commanding. People are surprised.
In the court, discussions have begun on whether to send General Zhu Guo to the border. You must know that the person currently in charge of the border is Ma Rujing. Although he is also a veteran, his prestige is not as good as Feng Luo's, and his experience in leading troops is not as good as Qin Gang's. The most important thing is What's interesting is that this veteran general is good at defense but not good at attacking. Once the war starts, if he achieves a staged victory, with today's moral character, he will definitely let the soldiers out and level the grassland in one go. Of course, this is based on being able to win and fight. The damage is controlled within an acceptable range.
The dark cloud of war hangs over everyone.
Inside the Qianqiying Yamen office, Chu Qing looked exhausted.
It happened very suddenly. Yuan Day was still three days away. In less than fifteen days, too many things happened.
After the second batch of Liang people's envoys came to Beijing and declared war, the court discussed it, to Liang Rong's exploration of horses and more than a hundred people were killed by the border troops, to Liang Rong's deployment of troops and generals, and finally to the death of Feng's eldest son in the battle. Everything happened so quickly that it was dizzying to watch.
Everyone is busy, and every government office is busy, but now, the Qianqiying government office is free. Now, whether in the court or in the capital, people are unprecedentedly united and united in dealing with the outside world, at least on the surface, this is the case of.
Every military report at the border has a copy, and Chu Qing will read it.
Looking at the military seal report, Chu Qing instinctively felt that something was wrong.
It's not that he is smarter than the emperor and his ministers, but that he has met Feng Luo.
From Feng Luo's cloudy eyes, Chu Qing felt that something was wrong with the border army.
The border troops showed no signs of rebellion or rebellion, but Feng Luo made it very clear that the border troops were in chaos, and their hearts were in chaos.
"Sir." Wang Tongtong opened the door, and before he could speak, Tao Ruolin and Bihua walked in.
Wang Tongtong left and closed the door.
Chu Qing raised his head and smiled: "Why are you here?"
"You have border troops..."
Tao Ruolin hurriedly saw the secret letter on the table and sat over it without explaining it, reading word by word.
Bihua came to Fu San's side and twisted the corner of her clothes: "Third brother."
Fusan raised his head and glanced at Bihua, then lowered his head to read Changlu.
Fu San not only recognized every word of this book of Changlu, he could even recite it backwards and forwards, but Third Brother still read it carefully.
From the very beginning, Fukusan wants to understand Changlu.
I watched it a few days ago, and Fu San wanted to know where Chang Lu’s loopholes were.
Looking at it now, Fu San wants to know how to exploit the loopholes of the Chang Law while complying with the "rituals" and legality.
